Justin is a God sent. Got the plastic spatula from Screwfix (Marshalltown QLT Joint Knife Set 3 Pieces (945GL) for 6 quid), and I got the SBR to prime the slabs (1 SBR 1 Water and 4 to 5 cement).I hired a cement mixer from Bradfords, and mixed 4 to 1 with sharp sand for the concrete bed. Still struggling to get the water quantity right (too wet). Got the 5mm spacers like yours with a slight modification: I drilled a hole and put a cable tie through it. It stops them falling into the gaps and they're easier to pull out once the slabs are set. Oh and I bought a full set of spirit levels. It's my first time laying a patio, but I could not have done it without you Every time I finish laying a bed of concrete I sign it with Zorro, think of you and smile, all my childhood memories coming back. Thank you from sunny Plymouth (well, till Saturday).

One of the best instructional videos on laying slabs/tiles. Excellent. Thank you.

Fair play. Proper real time instructions for anyone to understand

And that Justin is a masterclass - thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with all of us.
Your videos are a great watch 👍

Thank you for all the advice and detail. We have a block paved patio that the ants have wrecked over the years, so considering our options. Can't see any ants getting through your patio!! Really helpful.

Hi Brickright, I watch all your videos and find them really informative and helpful (and entertaining lol) just one question on most of your porcelain laying videos you lay directly on top of MOT base but on this video you used Grano dust on top of the MOT, is there a particular reason for this on this job? Keep up the good work 👍

I love your video! I live in Southern California and for the most part, we have dry weather. You are fortunate to have cold wet/damp weather so that you can take your time working your pavers. When it's hot a dry...the "mix" starts to set quicker.
Great information and Thank you for your video!

Im about to lay 100 square meters of porcelain. I have never done it before and very nervous but your video has given me confidence. Thank you .

Penarth - in between the rain there are a few showers BUT in the 1980s I lived where it rained more than here it was Whalley Lancashire.

great video
I am 1/2 way relaying crazy paving that is 30y old, some are broken pavers are all various thicknesses and some are intact old school back breakers 36" x 24"

Really useful video. Sound very clear. Wales is full of people looking hacked driving at 20mph..not a good advert.

Audio is indeed more crisp. As usual, quality work. 🙂

[grahamwood]

Very informative.
Thinking of laying my own patio, and never done it before.
For me laying the slabs looked the easy part.
It’s the prep work that’s daunting me.
Digging out, mot, wacker plate etc.
And i have a man hole cover to contend with. 😮

Thank you Justin this is such a helpful full guide to every step. Question: how many mm would the mortar bed be? Seen everything from 10mm-50mm

[CatrinJones-mlbl]

Thank you. You explained that brilliantly..Doing my own DIY, Done my own building walls and mastered plastering but I didn't have a clue on slabs nor where to start! So here goes, feeling more confident with your guidance. Wish me luck, Thankyou both for making it easier to understand.

Cheers guys.

Is the bubble just touching the line going to be adequate fall for porcelain paving given that it has high surface tension?

[Jim_Newlands]

Mrs N just passed by and asked me why I was watching someone showing me how to lay slabs and make a mix "you've been doing that for the last 40 years" 😬
They just don't get it, lads! 😂😂

[rmdogg]

nicely done, great detailed info on how its done, looking to do a patio area in my back yard with pergola, so this was very helpful indeed

[Lilfabo]

Love how u guys give all details of what you doing

[robetherton]

Excellent video, silly question but would you use the same method with normal patio slabs, minus the slurry?

[karolzawislak]

Top job, have laboured and work with brickies before and have always enjoyed patios and drainage nothing better than standing back when it’s grouted/pointed up
Enjoy these videos would be nice to add patios to my skill set 👍
